I just wanted to share a pic of my Mattel collection.
I have to admit that I was a hardcore Mattel hater. When the first figs came out I hated the face scans. And I thought the bodys looked pretty bad as well. And truth be told I'd pick a Jakks RA fig over most Mattels figs. But since Jakks gave up on Ra's and since Mattel makes so many figs per year I finally caved.
The first Mattel fig I bought was Vader. I thought it looked better than the Jakks version. I bought my first Vader the day I saw it in store. I was just impressed. And the fact that it comes with a spare face mask sold me. I just dont ever remember him in a cape.
After that I got Demolition just cause they've always been my fave tag team. I personally like the Jakks ones better but I thought, I have Hasbro demolition, I have Jakks Demoition, why not Mattel.
After that I didnt really care for the Mattel figs. But thanks in huge part to these forums I got more. I would log on and see people talking about sales at different stores and I would go and find really cheap figs. Aside from My first Vader and Demolition I didnt pay full price for any of these. The best deals I've found, thanks to wfigs, have been my Elite Ring which I was lucky enough to get for 18 dollars. And my Defining Moments figs which I found for 8 dollars.
I've grown to like Mattel figs just from having a few of them. But I learned a lesson from Jakks and so I dont buy 2 or more of any guy. As you can tell in my pic I have two's on Vader, EG Ted Dibiase, EG Roddy Piper, and Mr. Perfect. but those were cases in which I saw prices I coouldnt say no to.
So thanks fellow board members for tipping me off to great sales.
